Resumo: | One of the recurrent motives in Alchemy iconography is the work of women, appearing in significant treatises from the second half of the 16th century onwards. The images of women were also present in books on distillation devoted to the description of procedures to preparing medicinal waters. This paper, focusing on alchemical treatises Splendor Solis and Liber de arte distillandi by Hieronymus Brunschwig analyzes some of the paths that would lead to the enrichment and modernization of the representation of the work of women. |

Entretanto, naquela mesma época, imagens de mulheres também compareciam em livros de destilação, voltados a descrever claramente procedimentos para preparar virtuosas águas medicinais. Assim, este trabalho, focalizando o tratado alquímico Splendor Solis e o Liber de Arte Distillandi de Hyeronimus Brunschwig, textos que circularam na Europa do século XVI, analisa alguns caminhos que viriam enriquecer e actualizar a representação do trabalho das mulheres.Centro Simão Mathias de Estudos em História da Ciência2008-03-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionHistorical Inquiryapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/circumhc/article/view/558Circumscribere International Journal for the History of Science; Vol. 1 (2006); 37-49Circumscribere International Journal for the History of Science; v. 1 (2006); 37-491980-7651reponame:Circumscribereinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPenghttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/circumhc/article/view/558/1002Roxo Beltran, Maria Helenainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-10-25T00:20:34Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/558Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/circumhcPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/circumhc/oai||circumhc@pucsp.br1980-76511980-7651opendoar:2017-10-25T00:20:34Circumscribere - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false |
